Battambang
850 Broadway (at Eighth St.) Asian Other, Cambodian/Burmese $, $$ East Oakland  
This place is a find: a truly wonderful Cambodian restaurant, whose pleasant, small, and immaculate dining room doesn't begin to suggest the wonders served up there on a daily basis (well, it's closed Sunday). We've enjoyed literally everything the kitchen serves, especially soups made with... More >>
Cafe at Chez Panisse
1517 Shattuck (at Cedar) California cuisine $$$$ North Berkeley  
The (slightly) less expensive upstairs adjunct to Chez Panisse proper features the cooking for which Alice Waters' establishments are justly famous amid casual, wood- and copper-heavy Mission-style décor. The daily menu -- which, unlike that downstairs, is a la carte -- is focused on... More >>
Café Rouge
1782 Fourth St. (at Virginia) California cuisine, French, Steakhouse $$$, $$$$ West Berkeley  
Superb aged steaks, house-made charcuterie, and excellent fresh oysters are among the best things to eat at this always-reliable, comfortable, and airy Berkeley eatery. (There's a butcher shop on the premises, where you can choose from among 17 different sausages, salt-cured foie gras, and prime... More >>
China Village
1335 Solano (at Ramona) Chinese $$ Albany  
Ignore the generic, brightly colored laminated menu and go for the simpler, though still lengthy, one that lists the spicy Sichuan specialties (happily, in English) that are the glory of this Albany spot. Among our favorite dishes are dumplings with homemade sauce, spicy boiled beef and... More >>
Rivoli
1539 Solano (at Neilson) California cuisine, Greek/Mediterranean $$$, $$$$ Albany  
Earthy flavors are prepared and served with grace and imagination at this comely hot spot. Relaxed atmosphere; tantalizing menu. Portobello fritters, smoked duck breast with blini, scallop-lobster boudin, and berry pudding with crème fraîche are especially delectable. More >>
Sea Salt
2512 San Pablo American, California cuisine, Greek/Mediterranean, Seafood $$, $$$ West Berkeley  
A delightful seafood-only restaurant, opened by the owners of the successful East Bay eateries Lalime's and Fonda Solana, in a spacious, airy, artfully decorated San Pablo Avenue space, with an especially pleasant tree-shaded patio. The cooking is of a very high caliber, featuring sustainable... More >>
Speisekammer
2424 Lincoln (at Park) German/Polish/Russian $$, $$$ Alameda  
Affordable, delicious German food is the lure at this large yet gemütlich Alameda restaurant. We loved the lavish appetizer plate of sausages and cheese, the crunchy potato pancakes, the crisp herring sided with a salad of chopped apples and sliced onions dressed with sour cream, as well as... More >>
T-Rex Barbeque
1300 10th St. American, Barbecue, Southern/Soul Food $$, $$$ West Berkeley  
Upscale barbecue (and fancy cocktails) from the people who also run Lalime's, Sea Salt, and Jimmy Bean's, in a bright and airy modern two-story space. Starters include raw oysters and steamed clams with pork as well as onion rings and spicy chicken drumsticks; mains feature grilled veal... More >>
Vik's Chaat Corner (726 Allston (at Fourth St.))
724 Allston Way Indian/Pakistani $ West Berkeley  
This Berkeley spot, adjacent to a wholesale Indian grocery, is as famous for its eccentricities (warehouse setting, food served on paper plates, closes at 6) as for its freshly made Indian snack foods. The real stars are the irresistible puris (puffy breads) served with spicy curries and... More >>
Wood Tavern
6317 College California cuisine, New American $$, $$$ Rockridge  
Wood Tavern, in the heart of Oakland’s Rockridge gastronomic district, calls itself a gastropub. We call it the very model of a New American restaurant, where you can sip a beautifully made cocktail over a plate of house-made charcuterie, sample wines by the glass with a terrific... More >>
Zatar
1981 Shattuck Fusion, Greek/Mediterranean, Health/Vegetarian, Middle Eastern $$$ Downtown Berkeley  
We love the personal, consistent, fragrant cooking at this small Berkeley storefront restaurant, whose kitchen uses natural and organic ingredients (it has its own garden) for what the menu terms "eclectic Mediterranean cuisine," largely Middle Eastern in inspiration (other influences include... More >>
